Keegan Timothy Burkhart
Keegan Timothy Burkhart was screaming obscenities early this morning at his Lutz apartment, say deputies. When a deputy tried to get him to calm down, Burkhart dialed up 911.
To tell dispatchers he didn't want to go to jail.
When he did it a second time, Burkhart was arrested, according to a criminal report affidavit.
And taken to jail.
Here's the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office version of what happened, according to the report:
At 1:30 a.m. today, deputies responded to 5669 Kingfish Dr., in Lutz because Burkhart was disturbing the peace. He continued to yell and scream obscenities in front of a deputy and witnesses, "without regards to the apartment's tenants while they were sleeping."
He was asked to stop.
He refused and continued shouting.
Then he called 911 on his phone, "because he did not want to go to jai."
Burkhart, said the deputy, did not need to call for deputies because deputies were already there.
So Burkhart was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and making a false 911 call, both misdemeanors. Burkhart, listed as an accountant in jail records, was released from jail at 8:35 a.m. on $750 bond.
